I’m not into labelling people and tend to avoid label brands but, this weekend, I couldn’t resist purchasing a little labelling machine. I’m now the proud owner of a Brother PT-80 and various things around my house have begun to sprout little white labels.

No! It isn’t because I am forgetting what things are called. The pragmatic reason behind the purchase was because, having rearranged my “creative studio” room and taken another step towards getting it tidy, I have various plugs on the desk which can’t easily be traced back: is this black one the printer or the extra monitor? Problem solved and things like the spice jars in the kitchen are now also getting properly tagged.
